Sec. 113. Drawings
The applicant shall furnish a drawing where necessary for the
understanding of the subject matter sought to be patented. When the
nature of such subject matter admits of illustration by a drawing
and the applicant has not furnished such a drawing, the Director
may require its submission within a time period of not less than
two months from the sending of a notice thereof. Drawings submitted
after the filing date of the application may not be used (i) to
overcome any insufficiency of the specification due to lack of an
enabling disclosure or otherwise inadequate disclosure therein, or
(ii) to supplement the original disclosure thereof for the purpose
of interpretation of the scope of any claim.
